You must visit Bhutan

By Alan Lunken October 11, 2023
We had a wonderful 6 days in Bhutan organized by Mosaic Adventure. Madhav organized everything for Bhutan: visas, round trip flights to Paro, hotels in Bhutan and provided a nice guide named Phurba to let us explore this amazing country. Madhav prepared everything in advance and met us in Kathmandu. He provided all the visas, tickets and guide details and we were off to Bhutan without any worries. Guide Phurba has excellent communication skills and his knowledge was second to none. We were treated to local insider knowledge and personal insights regarding everything in Bhutan. A fantastic contact and the team to have in Nepal and Bhutan!

We are just back from a Bhutan tour, Bhutan would not be an unbelievable experience without Mosaic's helpful, friendly and cheerful staffs. We really appreciate our guide for his friendliness. He holds lots of information about the places we visit; he became part of our team. Highly recommend Mosaic Adventure for all adventure seekers in Nepal and Bhutan.
